Developmental Problems: Is There A Solution Available From Developmental Service Providers?

None of the therapy services generally available for children with developmental difficulties have success at pluging the holes in their movement through the developmental steps. Most therapy services focus on teaching as many skills as possible to someone who will be an adult with those developmental difficulties.

Teaching the un-teachable child

Most therapy services assume that children with developmental difficulties will always have those developmental difficulties. So, they have stopped hoping that the developmental progress can be fixed. They have stopped searching for ways to complete the holes in their movement through the developmental steps.

Instead, they have settled for teaching the un-teachable child as their basic attitude. They select a series of skills that they think a grownup with developmental difficulties will need. They struggle for weeks or months or years to teach those skills to their un-teachable students. Of course, the workers in these therapy services are very respectful of the special children with whom they work. They just assume these children will never be able to lose their symptoms.

It is in the diagnosis

There is an attitude that there is no cure built into the diagnostic process and even in the definitions of all of the individual issue diagnoses. Everyone involved assumes that this present-tense statement also includes the future as well. There is no cure is thought to also mean that there will never be a cure.

This presents an interesting dilemma. If someone found a cure, it could not be proved. The definition (for example) of GDD includes an item that there is no cure (with the un-written understanding that there will never be a cure). If academics try to use a pre and post diagnosis testing in their research, the post-test (diagnosis) would indicate that the test subject continues with that developmental issue, because the subject obtained that diagnosis in the pre-test. Depending on the treatment, the research could certainly show that the symptoms have changed (maybe even gone away), but the diagnostic process does not include the possibility of cure.

If a child has one of these developmental difficulties, and receives a diagnosis for that problem, the child will continue with that diagnosis even if the child loses all of the symptoms of that diagnosis. Even when a child stops having that problem, the diagnosis continues. That is an interesting difficulty. Investigation to prove that the cure has been found cannot prove it, because the definition does not permit that possibility.

So, what can you expect?

Even if the cure was discovered today, it would be many years before there is enough research to overcome the definitions, diagnostic specifications, and the diagnostic prejudice in existence today. This paradigm that there is no cure is so strong that little effort is being spent on searching for that cure or expecting a cure to be forthcoming. Parents should not expect the cure to be announced before their own child has children with developmental difficulties (don't expect it for decades).

No medical, psychological, or educational service provider has available, or will send you to, a service that offers a cure. And, the therapy services they send you to will have the attitude that they are teaching an un-teachable child. Parents should not expect the mainstream medical, psychological, or educational services to provide a cure. They have no experience in that possibility.

If parents want to find anything close to a cure for their children with developmental difficulties, they should not look for that in the mainstream therapy services. It is simply not there. They have to look at alternative services.

If parents want their child to surpass their developmental difficulties, they should search for services which work with the developmental progress. Our technique assists the inherent predisposition for improvement. And, we get the clients to complete the holes in their movement through the developmental steps.
